YouTube channels focused on bullying

Today I’ve been looking for some videos and content creators about bullying. We have been talking about the importance of explaining to the kids all the definitions and concepts related to school bullying and teaching them how to detect and act when they face a case of bullying around them as a victim, bystander, or aggressor, and I believe it is important the way we teach them. Usually we pay more attention when the information is relevant or attractive to us, so I think it is important that these concepts are shown to children in a way or format that interests them. This is why I think that social media is a great place to post educational videos, which teachers can use to explain to kids important concepts like bullying and all its involved things.


One of the main social platforms that kids use is YouTube, so I have been searching for some channels that had the same idea before me and are posting content related to the topic. Here I’ll present you some of them, so all the future educators can take a look and show them to their students:


  • Bullying No Way: This British channel is managed by the Queensland Department of Education on behalf of the Commonwealth and all states and territories, as well as national Catholic and independent schooling representatives. According to themselves, the channel supports school communities with evidence-informed resources and activities for a proactive approach to bullying prevention.

  • In this channel, you can find some extended videos of professionals explaining the main concepts, some short videos of kids and teenagers sharing their experiences with bullying and answering some questions, and some animated videos to comprehend everything better, showing some situations.

  • STOMP Out Bullying: According to themselves, it is a channel that works to reduce and prevent bullying, cyberbullying, and other digital abuse, educates against homophobia, LGBTQ+ discrimination, racism, and hatred, and deters violence in schools, online, and in communities across the country. They promote civility, diversity, inclusion, equity, and equality and teach effective solutions on how to respond to all forms of bullying, as well as educating kids and teens in school and online. It provides help for those in need and at risk of suicide and raises awareness through peer mentoring programs in schools, public service announcements by noted celebrities, and social media campaigns.

This is a very diverse channel from the United States of America, with message videos of different people, including some famous and referent people, some interesting interviews, and news of all the activities and actions of the organization.

  • Fresberg Cartoon: This one is not only focused on bullying, but it has a big variety of educational videos that explain some facts, history, and other topics like leadership, communication skills, mental health, conflict resolution, how to deal with emotions and feelings, etc., all in a very simple, educational, and positive way through cartoon videos.

New Definition of Bullying

 Hi everyone! The World Anti-Bullying Forum, together with UNESCO, created a Working group for establishing a new definition of school bullying. Its new definition keeps the idea that bullying requires unwanted repetitive aggressiveness and imbalance of power, and adds the idea that this power imbalance is supported by societal and institutional norms. The emphasis is now in the idea that bullying is not an affair among students but a social process. The new definition is this one: School bullying is a damaging social process that is characterized by an imbalance of power driven by social (societal) and institutional norms. It is often repeated and manifests as unwanted interpersonal behaviour among students or school personnel that causes physical, social, and emotional harm to the targeted individuals or groups, and the wider school community. You can find the document where it is explained  here . Fes

Salutogenic approach and a personal opinion

  As I briefly mentioned in my previous post, on the website called PDA Bullying , among various resources, there is a section dedicated to explain the Salutogenic approach . After doing some research, it becomes clear that this approach gets its name because its main goal is to promote health and well-being . The platform aims to address bullying from this perspective, adopting a strength-based approach that focuses on individuals' potential and the creation of a cooperative community working toward a shared goal . It slightly reminds me of the No Blame Approach we studied in class, as it also refers to a method based on compassion and a solution-focused outlook , rather than assigning blame. Their aim is not simply to act against bullying, but rather to overcome it , moving beyond a simplistic understanding of bullying as just a dynamic between two individuals. Instead, they view it as a broader social process . For this reason, the protocol designed and implemented by...

The Simpsons: Bull-E

  Bull-E - The Simpsons (Season 26, Episode 21) The Simpsons has reflected bullying as a complex issue through their episodes, whether through Bart’s pranks, Nelson’s struggles, or Springfield’s collective response, the show highlights the importance of addressing bullying thoughtfully and empathetically.  Many schools and communities have anti-bullying policies, but the debates arise about how to enforce them without oppressing free expression or over-penalizing minor infractions. The episode of The Simpsons reflects these concerns by showing the challenges of finding a balance. It highlights how good intentions, like preventing bullying (passing an Anti-Bullying law), can sometimes go way too far, leading to unintended consequences. Also, it brings up the difficulty of bullying’s definition, what feels like bullying to one person might seem harmless to another, that is Homer’s storyline, which reminds us that our words and actions, even if unintended, can impact on others d...
